Data-Driven Design-by-Analogy: State of the Art and Future Directions
Jiang, Shuo, Hu, Jie, Wood, Kristin L., Luo, Jianxi
Design-by-Analogy (DbA) is a design methodology, wherein new solutions are generated in a target domain based on inspiration drawn from a source domain through cross-domain analogical reasoning [1, 2, 3]. DbA is an active research area in engineering design and various methods and tools have been proposed to support the implement of its process [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Studies have shown that DbA can help designers mitigate design fixation [9] and improve design ideation outcomes [10]. Fig.1 presents an example of DbA applications [11]. This case aims to solve an engineering design problem: How might we rectify the loud sonic boom generated when trains travel at high speeds through tunnels in atmospheric conditions [11, 12]? For potential design solutions to this problem, engineers explored structures in other design fields than trains or in the nature that effectively "break" the sonic-boom effect. When looking into the nature, engineers discovered that kingfisher birds could slice through the air and dive into the water at extremely high speeds to catch prey while barely making a splash. By analogy, engineers re-designed the train's front-end nose to mimic the geometry of the kingfisher's beak. This analogical design reduced noise and eliminated tunnel booms.
Simple steps are all you need: Frank-Wolfe and generalized self-concordant functions
Carderera, Alejandro, Besanรงon, Mathieu, Pokutta, Sebastian
Generalized self-concordance is a key property present in the objective function of many important learning problems. We establish the convergence rate of a simple Frank-Wolfe variant that uses the open-loop step size strategy $\gamma_t = 2/(t+2)$, obtaining a $\mathcal{O}(1/t)$ convergence rate for this class of functions in terms of primal gap and Frank-Wolfe gap, where $t$ is the iteration count. This avoids the use of second-order information or the need to estimate local smoothness parameters of previous work. We also show improved convergence rates for various common cases, e.g., when the feasible region under consideration is uniformly convex or polyhedral.
Edge AI for IoT Developers
What is Edge AI? What are some applications of this technology? Edge Computing runs processes locally on the device itself, instead of running them in the cloud. This reduced computing time allows data to be processed much faster, removes the security risk of transferring the data to a cloud-based server, and reduces the cost of data transfer, as well as the risks of bandwidth outages disrupting performance. Computer vision and AI at the edge are becoming instrumental in powering everything from factory assembly lines and retail inventory management, to hospital urgent care medical imaging equipment like X-ray and CAT scans. Drones, security cameras, robots, facial recognition on cell phones, self-driving vehicles, and more all utilize this technology as well.
AWS, DeepLearning.AI Partner On Data Science Specialization
Amazon Web Services has partnered with education technology company DeepLearning.AI to offer a new specialization to help data professionals quickly master the essentials of machine learning and efficiently deploy data science projects at scale in the AWS cloud. The three-course Practical Data Science Specialization with Amazon SageMaker, AWS' fully managed machine learning (ML) service, is available through Coursera's education platform. The new, massive open online course (MOOC) addresses a critical factor to success with ML: growing the talent pool and helping more people become ML practitioners, according to Bratin Saha, vice president of machine learning services for AWS. "At Amazon, our goal is to train every developer we hire on machine learning," said Saha, who announced the new specialization during the opening keynote address for today's virtual AWS Machine Learning Summit. "In fact, machine learning courses are now mandatory for any engineer joining Amazon, and we want to make training accessible to even more developers."
Data Science: Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python
Created by Lazy Programmer Inc. English [Auto-generated], German [Auto-generated], 3 more Created by Lazy Programmer Inc. In this course you will build MULTIPLE practical systems using natural language processing, or NLP - the branch of machine learning and data science that deals with text and speech. This course is not part of my deep learning series, so it doesn't contain any hard math - just straight up coding in Python. All the materials for this course are FREE. After a brief discussion about what NLP is and what it can do, we will begin building very useful stuff.
How Amazon is tackling the A.I. talent crunch โ Fortune
This is the web version of Eye on A.I., a weekly newsletter on the intersection of artificial intelligence and industry. Sign up to get it delivered free to your inbox. Amazon, like other tech giants, is desperately hunting for workers who have an expertise in artificial intelligence. The online retailer has many businesses--its core e-commerce division, the Alexa voice-activated digital service, and the AWS cloud computing unit--that depend on machine learning. But there are relatively few computer scientists who know the technology, and those who do are in high demand.
10 Steps to Master Machine Learning with Python
Machine learning is one of the most popular buzzwords right now, and it has grown in popularity over the years. However, there is a scarcity of qualified Machine Learning professionals on the market, so now is an excellent time to begin your career in this area. This article is written to provide you with a step-by-step guide to getting started with machine learning training in Python since it is regarded as the most common programming language for machine learning. Python is a high-level object-oriented programming language that was first introduced in 1991. Python is a very readable and powerful programming language.

How Is Artificial Intelligence Being Used in Business?
Artificial Intelligence is an often-misused term developed to describe any machine capable of making complex, intelligent decisions on its own. This differs from a machine able to mimic or repeat human decision-making. Since the 1940s, when Alan Turing devised his famous'Turing Test' for computer intelligence, artificial intelligence has become more and more of a reality. More powerful computers capable of assessing more and more data instantly have enabled the writing of'narrow' Artificial Intelligence algorithms. These algorithms have been capable of intelligent reasoning, but only when faced with a predetermined kind of task.
